do you remember firefly?
no, what's that?
an old sci-fi show
what was it about?
it's like cowboys, but in space
2 genres I'd rather skip on
well, just watch it
but...
just watch it, you know that's how i always imagined your life to be like
like a cowboy in space?
well, maybe not really cowboys, more like renegades, smugglers, thieves, they have to do odd jobs always in different planets, like retrieving some goods or robbing a train, and you also have to do many odd jobs in different countries, and many people want to kill them, same as you, and they are hunted down by the government just like you are, they have to live in the ship, they get into lots of troubles, but oftentimes they get to score some big rewards. And even though they have the proper documentation, the alliance (usa+chinese government) will try to give them some trouble anyway, just because they can. and overall, the characters are usually just surviving in a hostile environment, but somehow, and against all odds they always thrive, same as you do.
so same as cowboy beebop?
well, yeah, but..., well, just watch it
i might give it a go, but if my life is already like that, as you say, then the show would be quite boring indeed, I'd rather be watching something radically different, to get my head out of the mundane routines of daily life.
good point, but you may get some new ideas
i actually haven't broken any law in many many years
you know that's not true, but you confuse the phrase "breaking the law" with "doing something wrong" you have very high morality issues, maybe too high, you can't hurt animals, you can't consciously do things that will damage the environment or some ecosystems, you can't hurt people, you can't use filthy language, you can't steal, you have to take sides with the disadvantaged ones and if you see an unfair situation you can't ignore it because you think those who ignore it are accomplices in the unfairness, so that gets you into a variety or troubles and awkward situations, you have to do the right thing, even though i makes other people feel bad or uncomfortable, you need to stand by your beliefs, and do what's right even though it means breaking the law in the process.
oh
and if we start sailing deep into the seas of your past and take a trip, a voyage to explore the complex machinery of your mind, we will discover, or rather come to a turning point in your life when, as a rebellious teenager, you were asked to choose and alignment when creating your first AD&D character, you chose 'chaotic good' and that just stuck with you for the rest of your life, turning you into a fan boy of your fictitious persona, because of the way she/he behaved in the game, so instead of molding it according to your personality, as most players do, you based your real life on a character from a game you played 15 years ago.
oh...
that's right, 'oh....'
'chaotic good' let me look it up..
...
...
here:
Chaotic Good
A Chaotic Good character favors change for a greater good, disdains bureaucratic organizations that get in the way of social improvement, and places a high value on personal freedom, not only for oneself, but for others as well. They always intend to do the right thing, but their methods are generally disorganized and often out of sync with the rest of society. They may create conflict in a team if they feel they are being pushed around, and often view extensive organization and planning as pointless, preferring to improvise.am I right?
maybe, but i don't think it's that black and white though, we are a product of a million different variables, experiences we had and information we gathered through out our life, you can't blame one single life choice for all the events to come in someones life forever and ever.
that's why I said it was a turning point, because that's what turning points are, and a call you made years ago can still dictate your view of the world and society as a whole.
I'm not totally convinced, but it's definitely an interesting idea, well worth exploring
i think we have made some progress today
are we out of time?
unfortunately yes, but it was an interesting session, looking forward to our next one
alright
